Study: Elmhurst can support $25 Million performing arts center

Elmhurst and the surrounding area can support a 50,000-square-foot performing arts and conference center with an estimated $25 million price tag, according to a study released this week by the not-for-profit Elmhurst Centre for the Performing Arts.

Conducted by Chicago-based Johnson Consulting, the study suggests the proposed downtown building could house two theaters: a roughly 550-seat main facility with an orchestra pit and control room and a 130-seat “black box” convertible space.
